ObjectiveTo analyse the short-term effects of kinesio taping (KT) with tension (KTT) or without tension (KTNT) in older women with knee osteoarthritis (KOA), and compare them to controls who did not receive KT.DesignRandomised controlled trial.SettingUniversity physiotherapy school clinic.ParticipantsForty-five older women (fifteen participants per group) with 66.8 (±5.6) years and clinical diagnosis of KOA were assessed pre, post and 3 days after intervention.InterventionsParticipants were randomly allocated to KTT, who received two simultaneous applications of KT with tension on the knee and rectus femoris; KTNT, who received the same application as the KTT group, but without tension and a control group that attended a class on KOA.Primary and secondary outcome measuresPrimary outcome was pain intensity and secondary outcomes were knee-related health status, functional capacity, muscle strength and global rating of change.ResultsNo between-group differences were observed in pain after the first intervention (KTT vs KTNT: mean difference (MD), −1.8 points; 95% CI −4.2 to 0.5; KTT vs control: MD, −1.2 points; 95% CI −3.6 to 1.2; KTNT vs control: MD, 0.66 points; 95% CI −1.7 to 3.0) or 3 days later (KTT vs KTNT: MD, −1.3 points; 95% CI −3.7 to 1.0; KTT vs control: MD, 0.13 points; 95% CI −2.2 to 2.5; KTNT vs control: MD, 1.4 points; 95% CI −0.9 to 3.8). The lack of between-group differences was also found for secondary outcomes.ConclusionThe short-term use of KT with or without tension in older woman with KOA had no beneficial effects on pain and function. These findings call into question the clinical use of KT as a non-pharmacological therapy for this population.Trial registration numberNCT03624075.

Abstract Background: Despite the increasing use of diaphragm myofascial release technique in clinical practice, there is no study on the effect of this technique on musculoskeletal outcomes of patients with neck pain. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the added value of diaphragm myofascial release on forward head posture, chest expansion, and functional disability in patients with neck pain.Methods: In this randomized controlled trial, 46 women with neck pain between the age of 18 and 45 years old were randomly allocated to two groups; the intervention group received 4 diaphragm myofascial release techniques once a week, for 4 weeks. Both intervention and control groups received the same neck exercise program 3 times a week for 4 weeks. Forward head posture, chest expansion, and neck functional disability were measured using craniovertebral angle, circometry, and Copenhagen neck functional disability index, respectively, before and one day after treatment.Results: The results of the paired t-test showed significant increases in craniovertebral angle (control and intervention: P<0.001) and chest expansion (control: P=0.001, intervention<0.001) and a significant decrease in the functional disability score (control and intervention: P<0.001) of patients with neck pain in both groups. A significant greater craniovertebral angle (P=0.01) and chest expansion (P=0.03) were also seen in the intervention group compared with the controls.Conclusion: Adding diaphragm myofascial release to neck exercises was associated with significantly greater improvements in forward head posture and chest expansion than neck exercises alone. Therefore, the diaphragm myofascial release could be useful in the management of neck pain patients with FHP. Trial registration: IRCT20191116045461N1 (Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials).
